( two months later )

Jungkook was driving to his home, after he finished his work at the company.

On his way he saw a poster, which catched his attention, as he stopped his car to see it properly.

It was related to periods.

The poster had a slogan written on it which said 'Awareness about periods is must'.

Jungkook thought about it.

He and yuqi never really talked with or told aera about periods.

And aera didn't care even, she saw yuqi buying sanitary pads multiple times whenever they go to grocery shopping together.

But she never asked them about this because she was too young to care about anything back then.

But today Jungkook has realised that this is the right time for her to know about it.

He will definitely talk about this with yuqi after reaching home

Yuqi:"Why didn't I thought about this",she expressed her thoughts

Jungkook:"It's okay yuqi, also it's not that late. She's just eight years old",he reassured her.

Yuqi:"You're right,",she said and nodded."but, I'm her mother, how did I ignored this thing",she said

Jungkook:"yuqi, now we cannot bring the time back, so let's not waste this moment, hmm", he said

Just then the room door burst open and aera came in.

Her health is fine now.

She's just taking some megesterol acetate medicines used as appetite stimulants, because she's been very week and skinny after all those blood transfusion and those medications which almost killed her appetite.

Jungkook and yuqi were very worried because of that, but thanks to heaven she's fine and almost healthy now.

Right now just by looking at her face Jungkook and yuqi knew she was angry and sad about something but they didn't knew the reason behind it.

Jungkook:"Baby, come here", he said and took Aera on his lap.

"Now tell appa what happened",he asked her

Yuqi was caressing her back

Aera:"Appa, a boy pushed me in the school today, and when I complained to the teacher about this, she scolded me instead",she said with a angry pout on her face.

Jungkook chuckles at her.

Jungkook:"that's it, don't worry princess, appa will see them later",he said with a smirk.

"For now me and eomma wants to have a serious talk with you, okay",he asked

"Okay", she said cutely tilting her head

They both smiled at her.

Jungkook made her sit in between them

He eyed yuqi to start the conversation

Yuqi:"Aera you have always seen me buying sanitary pads at the convenience store right",she said

Aera nodded

"Do you know what it is used for" , yuqi asked.

Aera:"My friend once told me that it is supposed to go in a girl's-",she stopped

By her expression Jungkook understood she was uncomfortable by this conversation.

Which is wrong, she shouldn't be uncomfortable by this, he thought.

Jungkook:"It's okay baby you don't have to be ashamed of these things, specially with us", he said caressing her soft hairs.

Yuqi:"He's right, we're your parents, and just to remind you that we bathe and change your clothes everyday at that time you were not shy then why are you shy now",she asked her

Jungkook:"Exactly, let's take your eomma as an example, has she ever been ashamed of asking me to buy pads for her",he said proudly

Aera thought and shooked her head

Yuqi:"Even your appa is not shy to buy pads for me everytime I ask him to, then you also should not be shy to ask for it in the future",she said softly

Aera:"Okay, eomma",she said nodding

Jungkook:"Now we will explain it to you, about this in detail",he said

Yuqi:"So baby, periods is a natural procedure which happens every month to all the women. It lasts for 4 to 5 days",she started with the basics

"In this time period every women bleeds from her private part"

"But Isn't That's scary", aera mumbled

Jungkook:"At first, you might feel scared and uncomfortable with your own blood but with the time you'll get used to it",he said

"But remember that no matter what we will never be uncomfortable with you, okay",he said

Yuqi:"You were saying something about pads right Princess, continue your words"she said

Aera"I was saying that my friend told me that pad is supposed to go into a girl's private part",she told them

Yuqi:"Not really for that actually something else called tampon and, menstrual cup is used, but I will tell you about that later",she said

"About pads it is actually suppose to stick in your panty and you have to wear that so that it can catch the blood flow"

Aera:"But isn't it uncomfortable",she asked her mother.

Yuqi:" Sometimes, when I don't shave my hairs it is really itchy down there. but mostly I don't even feel it", she confessed

Aera:"You have hairs there-, she asked with her eyes widened

Jungkook and yuqi laughed at her shocked face

Jungkook:"Baby, every women and men have some hairs on their princess part", he said

Aera:"But, I don't have them", she said

Jungkook:"That's because you're still a baby, you'll gradually grow some hair with time",he told her

"For now, you have to understand that you should tell us whenever you get your periods"

Aera:"What if I got it in school",she asked them

Yuqi:"Then you should tell this to your teacher"

Jungkook:"And don't be shy while telling them about this okay"

Aera:"But, I don't think she likes me",she said with a sad voice

Making Jungkook raise his eyebrow in confusion

Who the hell is this teacher, he said in his mind
